Durham v Sussex (h) C.C.

[Dan..Dan..Dan..Dan]

Times like these they should be playing with a lighter red ball.

Precedent set now in respect of light for the game. Shit this.

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

Pissing it down now
32 overs left and they have gone off for bad light

 

[Ghfd]

Durham odds on to win from here

I’m tempted at odds against Sussex

 

[Aidan11]

Still off at CLS.

51 to get

 

[The Red Telephone]

Packed it in at 4.15pm....a wise move.

 

[Parkside]

Couldn't find more contrasting games than this and the test match.

From a Sussex point of view it all depends on how long John Simpson stays at the crease, which is the normal pattern with the usual suspects out. Really enjoying the bowling from both sides.

 

[Aidan11]

Just gone on YT to find it's over for the day.

Still plenty of time to win this tomorrow.

Get a few early wickets tomorrow and we could win this.

 

[Raymondo]

As unlikely as it seems, we may be able to push for a win tomorrow if we can make early inroads. I think Sussex will be a bit nervy in the morning for sure, their mindset is probably one of having to bat two sessions to save the game. Anything below a 250 lead has to be fancied from our perspective given how flat the pitch is.

 

[The Red Telephone]

Frustrating day with the weather but it's probably saved Durham as I reckon Sussex would have been going into the final day with a lead of 250+ and tbh with their attack of Archer, Sandhu, Robinson, Hudson-Prentice and Carson's spin together with our ability to throw wickets away I think we'd be struggling.

I admire the optimism on here mind you.

Sussex could still easily set us a target of 250+ in 50 overs on a pitch that's not easy to score quickly on. Then Campoball is adopted and...whoops.

They’d have to be bowled out, there’s no way they’d declare to leave us that equation.

 

[tynevalleyblackcat]

Not looked at the weather but all three results still possible. A few early wickets and get into the tail and we can 100% win this one.

 

[Parkside]

They’d have to be bowled out, there’s no way they’d declare to leave us that equation.

They've got 4 top class bowlers who they can keep fresh by rotating over 50 overs and it's not an easy pitch to score easily on. Hardly a gamble.

 

[SuperSub]

I hope I'm wrong but judging by Sussex's results this season I think they won't go looking to force a result, there's been a couple of games this season were they have just batted out the 3rd innings on the final day.

Won't win the championship with negativity

 

[Dan..Dan..Dan..Dan]

With yesterday's lost overs, what is the maximum playing time/overs today?
